Video Game Reviews of Over the Hedge
Customer Review: STILL FUN, A GOOD LICENSED GAME 8.25 OUT OF 10
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is just as fun as the PS2 version I played and reviewed. The gameplay still revolves around using golf clubs, hockey sticks, snowball guns, and various other weapons to take down demented rats, rabbits, gophers, etc., that have been taken over by the Verminator. Throughout the game you will avoid several laser traps, homicidal barbeques and bushes, steal food from houses, rescue the porcupine kids, unlock special features and minigames, and do so many other things in more than thirty missions of surprisingly good fun. You play as the characters from the movie; RJ the raccoon, Verne the turtle, Stella the skunk and Hammy are the playable characters. While the other characters (and a few new ones) are there, they are not playable in the game. The graphics also look pretty decent for a last-generation game as well. Now to get to the bad; first the camera needs to fixed (It's like I'm playing a PSone game). Second, controls need to be tightened (Why can't I use the second analog stick to control the camera?). Third, the storyline is incoherent and seems to be sloppily put together. And last but not least, the game is more fun on multiplayer. This may seem like a laundry list of complaints, but they mostly seem to drift away while I destroy things, steal food and save my comrades from the Verminator. This game should go down as being among the handful of licensed games that don't suck, because it really should.
